Twilight Wedding Highlights

I am in LOVE with the
Twilight series {along with millions of teens across the world}.To me it’s not about the vampire/werewolf
hype, but the love between these characters.Bella has a team of people who are willing to put their lives on the
line to ensure her safety, but the deeper love that Edward and Jacob share for
her is something hard find in reality.Two men willing to put their pride aside for a woman’s happiness to let
her choose where her heart lies… a true fairy tale {ask your significant other
if he would climb to the top of a mountain for you – mine rolled his eyes and
walked off}.In a world that is
constantly moving we all need a break from reality to believe in something we
can’t see everyday.The latest
installment Breaking Dawn finally brought about the wedding that Twilight fiends
like myself couldn’t wait to see.I must
say they did not disappoint.The décor
had details that enveloped the big screen {if you saw it in theaters} and made
it feel like you were sitting in a botanical garden.Of course I couldn’t help but want to know
about the details of the wedding and where else would I share them besides
here??The items that made me ooh and aah
were Bella’s dress, the flowers that hung from the trees and of course Bella’s
shoe

The dress

Carolina Herrera was designed especially for this occasion.
Best part of the dress was the back.Point blank.The sheer back with
the scalloped edges for a touch of detail meshed perfectly together.The details didn’t stop there.Starting from the top of the train to the
very tip of the train were 152 buttons!!I barely have the patience to sew on one button that fell from a coat {in
fact I have on sitting here as we speak} so I can appreciate this detail.

The flowers to me created a canopy affect without actually
using a tent.Wisteria flowers were used
to hang from the moss tress to create not only an eye catching detail, but
served to block the sunlight from the ceremony.Two birds with one stone.Notice
there were no glittering vampires during a daylight wedding.

We didn’t see much of them but they were made by the one and
only Manolo Blahnik. The heel was a 4 1/2 inch pump embellished with crystals for a hint of sparkle. At one point Neiman’s had the style on sale
at a whopping $1,295!!They did offer
them in black and red, because how many times can you where a white satin shoe
without it getting dirty??Anyone up for
that challenge?

All in all I think the wedding showed how an outdoors
wedding can have a dreamy feel to it {but again this whole series is a dream to
me so maybe I can’t be unbiased}.I
haven’t gotten the blu-ray yet but it will make it into my collection fairly
soon.Are there any other Twilight fans
out there?What was your favorite part
of the wedding?Which detail would you
like to create for your own day?
